Directed by: Tommy Lee Wallace Starring: Tom Atkins, Dan O'Herlihy, Stacy Nelkin Atkins stars as a doctor trying to uncover the mysteries of deadly halloween masks. Not a lot of Halloween fans want to recognize it's existence as a film, and you can't blame them. There's no Michael Myers at all. Instead we're left with a crazy mask-maker... who's mask kill! sound scary? nope. No wonder it bombed at the box offices. For a long time, I hated this film. However, I think a lot of flack it gets is just because it's not a real sequel to the first two Halloween films. If you look at it apart from the franchise though, it is a bit more bareable. Still nothing fantastic, but it's ok. I enjoyed it much more when I was told some background information on practices of Irish Druids. Had the film given me that information, maybe I'd give it a 3, but basically it just leaves you wonder what the gently caress you just watched. I vote a 2... and I'm sure a lot of people think that it doesn't even deserve that high of a score. 2/5

Halloween III is a loving crazy sequel that has nothing to do with slasher Michael (aka The Shape). Instead the movie is about druids making masks that will be activated by a commercial broadcast on Halloween night, triggering a small microship inside that will fire a laser into the skull of the child wearing it, shooting snakes and insects everywhere. The druids are doing this because it will be "one hell of a Halloween trick" and as a sacrifice to Stonehenge. There are also robots disguised as people in this movie. I say all of this because it's not so much a spoiler as the only appeal of this movie. 4/5, really loved it because it's crazy horror trash

quote:liquorhead came out of the closet to say: You just had to go and do that...that song is annoyingly catchy. I all around hated this movie, and would recommend avoiding it if you are a Michael Myers fan. If the storyline sounds interesting to you, check out the Buffy episode "Halloween", or the the Goosebumps book or episode "The Haunted Mask." They are shorter and more entertaining. As was said, it was better as a standalone, but not much better. Because I have a special place in my heart for terrible horror movies: 4/5 But in all seriousness: 1.5/5 Vivisector fucked around with this message at 23:23 on May 3, 2004 |

I love this movie because it's so laughably horrible in so many different ways.

This is a positively craptastic movie that traumatized the gently caress out of me when I was about 13.

Those robots, or cyborgs, or whatever the hell they were, had absolutely no purpose whatsoever. They just get killed, and nothing else in the movie ever refers to the event again. Either that, or the movie was so bad that I managed to block that part out. It was such an inept attempt at story telling that I truly want to give it a 5.5. It is so terrible (from the perspective of a person who wants to take it seriously as a horror flic) that the whole movie became one big joke. This is easily my favorite unintentional comedy ever made (counting only movies that have nationwide releases). This movie is either a 5 or a .5, no in between.
